Holding small work in a bandsaw vise

One inch screwless vise not the most used tool in the shop. But every now and then.

You definitely don't want to walk away from that one.

I always found the term "screwless" a bit baffling. They obviously have a screw.

That saw is the same lovely shade of rosy magenta as mine.

As Downwindtracker suggested I bolted a machinist vice to a steel plate, channel iron would work beter. Not much you can't hold in it.

For short large parts a joiner nut and two bolts work great to keep the jaws parallel. This works for a lot of jacking operations where you need to space or push things apart.

Good use for a coupling nut, beats trying to find a piece of stock the right size.
